    About this ebook

    Sky Tate knows next to nothing about cars. She teleports everywhere.

    But now faced with a mystery about an expensive car, she must learn a little about cars. Just enough.

    The first Sky Tate story, "Center Drives" introduces the superhero detective. Sky gets much wilder in later stories. Trust us on that.

      A Sky Tate Short Story

      I know nothing about cars. Diddly-squat as the saying went about fifty years ago.

      I drive a new Cadillac CTS that I buy new every year because I can and I like the new car smell. That’s it. I teleport most places, drive when I feel like it. I’m a superhero detective, not a car salesman.

      And I know no superhero car salesmen, although I was sure there were some somewhere since there was a superhero for everything on the planet. I just didn’t want to meet a superhero car salesman.
